MixC Ningbo is a new urban lifestyle destination with a distinctive public realm and experiential design offer, featuring 700m street frontage, 24 hour ‘Sky Walk’, inbuilt Ferris Wheel and innovative placemaking strategy to create a compelling and surprising proposition for visitors.

The interior architecture is an extension of the exterior, bringing to life an environment that promotes social engagement, discovery, and exploration with features such as ‘Tree House’ atrium, exhibition plaza, children’s zone, and lifestyle gallery.

For interior, two striking ‘Tree Houses’ overlook the atrium, with a bespoke, winding internal staircase connecting visitors below. Extensive skylights provide visual connectivity to the outdoor entertainment. The design detailing and zoning take on a ripple effect to create different areas of interest throughout the multi-level space.

Four ripples define the theming and features, including Imagination - Active and playful for kids and young families; Celebration - Exciting and diverse with a changeable exhibition plaza; Nature - Green and organic with interior gardens; Desire - A youth and lifestyle gallery for the up-and-coming generation.
